The Cairo Misdemeanors Court, convening in the Fifth Settlement, is scheduled to hear the appeal of the woman and her friend on a death sentence issued against them. They were accused of killing the woman's husband, Yaser, inside their home in Badr. The case, numbered 3118 of 2024, was registered with the Cairo New Capital Public Prosecution as case 473 of 2024.
According to the investigation, the defendants planned and executed the murder with premeditation. The woman and her accomplice allegedly prepared a sleeping pill and a white weapon, a knife, and a wooden stick. The woman gave her husband sleeping pills in his food, allowing her accomplice to kill him without resistance. The investigation revealed that the woman's accomplice hit the victim several times on the head with a wooden stick until he died.
After ensuring the victim's death, the defendants transferred his body to the bathroom, where the accomplice cut it into several pieces using knives. They then placed the body parts in plastic containers and garbage bags, scattering them in different locations. The investigation found that the woman had been persuaded by her accomplice to get rid of her husband for two years to gain his inheritance and marry her.
The woman claimed in her statements that her accomplice had been urging her to get rid of her husband, and when she refused to flee, he devised an alternative plan to kill and dispose of the body. She also alleged that she had informed the police of her husband's disappearance, pretending he had gone to work and never returned. On the day of the crime, the woman gave her husband sleeping pills, and when he showed signs of waking up, she gave him more pills until he was completely incapacitated.
The woman then left the house with her young child for 15 minutes at her accomplice's request, allowing him to finish killing her husband. She returned to find her husband dead and covered in blood on their marital bed. The investigation revealed that the woman had bought a large knife and black trash bags and had also purchased chlorine to clean the bathroom and remove bloodstains.
